General Chat

It is lovely and cool in my office at the moment, the window is wide open and there is quite a strong cool breeze.

Thanks for the updates Caz. Poor Rachel must have been suffering in the heat, being so close to delivering her baby. let's hope things go ok for her and that will put Joyce's mind at rest.

I have been very tired all week, and have hardly been out in the sun at all, only later in the afternoon or evenings, having slept late several days. It's not the heat making me like that as it's not that hot in this house, it is shaded so doesn't get the sun till late afternoon in the lounge, the mornings in here are glorious but then I go to bed of course! Am going to call for an appointment for myself as I can't go on sleeping like this, I am getting so little done and missing so much lovely weather.

Take care and hope you both feel lots better soon. Don't blame you for saying no to a further mri Caz.

love

Had a nice chat with Dutch this am - sounds pretty perky to me!!
If I'd realised about the compression stockings, I would have suggested using rubber gloves to put them on, once over the foot you can slide them up legs with your palms. Worn them for years to lessen leg pain when working on one's feet all day, couldn't manage without the gloves.
Mary.

Dutch does sound better doesn't she Mary, it's nice to hear her like that, mind you we always end up laughing anyway.
She never mentioned Rachel last night, too busy tellling me about her phone call with Mary, she was chuffed to bits.
It's overcast here this morning but still hot and muggy.
I need a new prescription Sallie for glasses right eye got worse and left eye is useless anyway. The worst part is choosing glasses, I have trouble telling which look best.

Thanks for tip on rubber gloves Mary, years ago when I had to wear compression sleeve for lymphodema they told us about rubber gloves but I had forgotten.

Hope you are all cooler today, I am expecting Joyce to let me know if anything starts with Rachel so I'll keep you informed.

Reaching out with lots of love and gentle hugs for you, Joyce, you WILL come out of this, we are just holding you close in our hearts and prayers, always there for you lovely lady......


Much love Jean and Jeff xxx

Oi !! Have I caught you out for the second time today?? We had such a lovely chat then I come and find you were putting on a front. Why didn't you say you felt so bad? I am sure when you tell your grandaughter what you have been doing she will be so proud of you, as we all are. I asked you to do this and you accepted with no quibble. I am so amazed by your drive. Now lets rest xxx

Hi Joyce,

It' was nice seeing your message today! I know that it doesn't feel like it now, but things will get better for you. Just take care of yourself, as we have all said on here, there comes a time, when you have to put yourself first.
You have your granddaughter's visit to look forward to, and the birth of Rachel's baby, so keep resting and looking after yourself, because you will want to be on top form for them all.

Caz, hope it's a bit cooler for you today. Don't you have anyone that can go with you, to help choose your glasses?
My daughter usually comes with me. It's just knowing if they suit you or not, isn't it.

Thinking of you all.

Best wishes,

Sallie.

Sorry, that was me deleting, somehow I sent the message twice.
Sallie.

Obviously nothing we say is going to assure Joyce that she has not let anyone down. I guess you just expect too much of yourself Joyce and that is something only you can adjust. Continue to rest, I am sure the feeling something is missing and the tears are all part of you being under the weather and exhausted. You will have a lovely time with your Granddaughter I am sure and we are all thinking of you and wishing you well.
Take care of yourself.
Love
Ann xx

Mary

Will say Morning Dutch, cos I bet you come on to have a look here lol
Hope you are feeling a bit better and we can have a catch up call next week when I get peaceful afternoons and evenings.
I am sitting here waiting to see if the hedgehog comes, I treated him to some meaty catfood instead of scraps, and sods law, he hasn't turned up yet! Now how can I disguise half a can of meaty cat food for o.h.'s packing up next week, don't want it going to waste lol

Caz, Dutch, Carole, Mary all you lovely people, take care and let's hope everyone has a good weekend, with slightly cooler weather, and you all feel better next week.

love and hugs
Lizx

Dutch, should we change your name to Jack Duckworth lol, you sound as bad as me before I got my new specs last Christmas, was wearing my indoors specs taped up with sticky plaster lol

Morning Dutch and everyone.
Hope you are feeling a bit more chirpy Dutch?
Waddington Air Show here today so I am hoping to get up off my bed and actually outside to watch some of the planes as they take the roof off!! They usually circle round and come straight over the top of us.
I am hoping the Lancaster will get up off the ground it only managed one day of the show last year.
Love and hugs to all
Love Tricia xxx

Had a phone call off Joyce, she is a bit worried as she can't get in touch with Rachel. Joyce rung Rachels partner and he said she has gone out for a walk as she has pains in her stomach now, he is at work. Maybe she is starting labour, what with her back now pains in stomach. Joyce will let me know if anything happens, I am late going for my afternoon rest but will be back if any news. If you are looking in Joyce, try and relax and keep yourself calm.
